When you venture out to the Dishman Hills Natural Area, not only are you destined to see one of Spokane's most beautiful natural scenes, you will be visiting one of its most historic. Named after A.T. Dishman who extracted tons of granite from the site to help rebuild Spokane after the Great Fire of 1889, the area offers several desirable activities for nature lovers. There is a two and a half-mile hike that traverses Eastwood Pond which is available seasonally from March to November. In addition, there are several excellent spots for picnics, family fun and running around. Or, if you prefer, you can just sit and take in the amazing outdoor beauty.

You are both running your busy lives every day of the week. If getting away from it all sounds like a great idea, then make Riverside State Park your destination where the two of you can enjoy some quality outdoor fun. Riverside features two campgrounds where you can enjoy the truly tranquil surroundings while not being too far from the basic necessities. This camping park is located along the Spokane and Little Spokane rivers in eastern Washington, and offers an opportunity to enjoy such invigorating outdoor fun as hiking, fishing, boating and much more. You and your honey will come back from your romantic time at Riverside State Park feeling totally refreshed and revitalized.
